looks like R9R is starting to see the writing on the wall about his hero.

you do know now that all those "rumors" about Rondo have some fire behind them. I guess it's starting to beocme apparent now that Ainge is looking to move Rondo out as part of the old guard clearing out.

don't worry we wont hold it against you if stay a celtic fan once Rondo leaves.

but you will need to admit that you saying rondo wil be celtic for life and lead the team to it's next banner, was only your HOPE.

hang in there.......and hope that IF the team does trade Rondo ( my bet is 75% chance he's gone before camp opens) they get QUALITY pieces back to make the team better.

No Charlie V and keep Brooks and Rondo out of it. The Celtics still couldn't get it over half-court under the least bit of pressure if Rondo goes. The rest? Yawn - because the Pistons are not just giving away Monroe.

Here is a thread that suggests we can get Monroe without giving up Rondo. Conversly there is a suggestions from another poster saying we should give up Rondo AND Jeff Green to get Monroe.

Talk about both ends of the WTF-are-you-thinking spectrum!

jeff green isn't as good as you think he is. at 26, he isn't a potential super star anymore. he's a career 13 ppg 5 rpg player with 0 all-star appearances. at $27M and change over the 3 years he is a BAD contract. C's would love to be able to dump the long term contracts of Green and Lee while moving Rondo in return for Monroe (23), Knight (21), the expiring contracts of Stuckey and Villuenva, plus a future #1 pick.

Ainge would have a plethora of young and talented players on rookie deals (Sully, Bradley, Brooks, Knight, Olynyk, Melo) along with a ridiculous amoung of draft picks through 2018 and cap space to build a team around Monroe.
